Alex Zdan for Senate

ad creative

NJ is killing small business rather than making it easier for people to achieve their American Dream.

Ad copy

As #smallbusinessweek comes to a close, l'm proud to unveil our FIRST primary campaign commercial. As your US Senator, I'll fight for a smarter federal government that gets OUT of the way of your small business. In Washington, I'll fight like hell to overrule Gov. Sherrill's new independent contractor rules, decrease burdensome reporting regulations and reduce penalties for first time paperwork violations from OSHA. Vote Alex Zdan for US Senate. The relentless pursuit of truth, justice and the America we deserve.
